Just a question:
First of all, he behaved very cynically and sarcastically...
Do I have tu use the adverb or simply the adjective? I am just a bit confused..  |

| You need to use the adverbs because cynically and sarcastically modify the verb behave. |

...and if you really want to use them as adjectives, you can say:
He behaved in a cynical way.
He behaved in a cynical manner.
His behaviour was cynical. |
